Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung is the name of a suburban settlement built by the city administration in the 10th district , Vienna, Favoriten, on the southern slope of the Laaer Berg , which consists of three parts. Today 14,000 people live in the settlement.

It is named after the Swedish Prime Minister Per Albin Hansson , who was in office from 1932 to 1946 , in gratitude for the aid provided by Sweden after the Second World War . A bust by Emil Näsvall, which was unveiled in 1951 on Stockholmer Platz west of Favoritenstrasse as part of the opening of the estate, commemorates him .

To mark the 70th anniversary of the settlement, there was an exhibition in the passageways of the houses in connection with the Favoriten district museum . Here the story was worked up and a several hundred page catalog about the Per-Albin-Hansson settlement was published.

West part

The urban housing complex, built between 1947 and 1951 and 1954 and 1955, was the first large residential building in Vienna after the Second World War and is now bordered by the Südostangente in the east and Favoritenstrasse in the west.

The plans were drawn up by Friedrich Pangratz , Franz Schuster, Stephan Simony and Eugen Wörle , who then worked on several municipal housing projects for Vienna.

The complex was laid out based on the idea of ​​a garden city from the 1920-30s. One -story row houses with adjoining gardens and 22 multi-family houses were built on a total area of ​​approx. 300,000 m 2 , creating a total of 854 new residential units.

Only 10% of the area has been built, the remaining area has been divided into 250 m² gardens for the row houses. The dimensions of these were chosen so that a family could grow their own fruit and vegetables, but could not make a profit from them.

In the years 1991–1994 extensive renovation measures were carried out on and in the multi-family houses. Attic extensions were carried out and 70 new apartments were created. 200 apartments were equipped with a bathroom and central heating for the first time. In the course of the renovation, the settlement was also given a new coat of paint.

The streets and alleys of the settlement are named after Swedish personalities and cities such as Bernadotte , Selma Lagerlöf , Malmö and Gothenburg . To distinguish it from the later components, the settlement is also called Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung West.

The area around Stockholmer Platz is a listed building .

North component

North of the first component, the second part of the settlement, the smaller Per-Albin-Hansson settlement north, was built west of Favoritenstrasse between Saligergasse and Jenny-Lind-Gasse 1969–1971. This is one of the first “prefabricated panels” in Vienna. A total of 17 three-storey multi-family houses were built.

The architects of this settlement were Anny Beranek , Johannes (Hannes) Lintl , Otto Nobis , Anton Siegl , Josef Wenz, Franz Wosatka .

East part

1970–1974, a further settlement with around 5000 apartments in a total of 62 residential buildings was built east of Favoritenstrasse in a much denser development, thus forming one of the largest settlements in Vienna. It was named Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung Ost ( abbreviated as PAHO by the locals ). The shortage of housing at that time prompted the City of Vienna to realize such large mass settlements in the 1970s.

The architects Oskar and Peter Payer were hired for the first part, 1971–1972 . The second part was planned by Hermann Kutschera and implemented in 1972–1974.

The buildings are either parallel to each other or offset in groups. You can find four to nine storey blocks of flats in the settlement, which were built from precast concrete components. The facades are flat and unadorned and are interrupted by evenly arranged loggias.

Despite this high number of buildings and apartments, the PAHO has many green spaces.

Olof-Palme-Hof

The Olof-Palme-Hof, built in the years 1972-1976, formed the end of the large estate. It was planned by the architects Carl Auböck and Wilhelm Kleyhons.

This is a distinctive, contiguous superblock, which consists of four irregularly grouped units that are open to the south-east. The individual apartment blocks are connected by triangular staircase towers. Each floor has been built a little set back, so that all apartments, regardless of which of the 9-12 floors they are in, have a balcony with direct sunlight. These south-east facing balconies take up the triangular shape that can already be found in the staircase towers. The Olof-Palme-Hof borders the Favoritenstraße directly to the east and offers space for 400 apartments.

Art in the settlement

There is art in public space in all three parts of the estate. While only a bust of Per Albin Hansson can be found in the eastern part of the settlement, there are already several sculptures in the northern and eastern parts (PAHO). In the east part you can also find wall paintings that were created in 2018 as part of the street art festival 3 weeks, 3 walls in cooperation with European artists.

Infrastructure

There are small business premises in the western part of the settlement. The Catholic parish church of St. Francis de Sales, completed in 1962 and consecrated in 1963, and the Protestant St. Thomas Church are located between the west and north sections. In the east part there are several educational institutions, churches, a fitness studio, playgrounds and sports fields, a sports hall, a library, the Favoriten district museum , a nursing home and various doctors. Adjacent to Favoritenstrasse and west of Olof-Palme-Hof is the Hansson Center, a shopping center with 47 shops.

The settlement's educational facilities include a music school, a bilingual elementary school, kindergartens and a grammar school.

With the construction of the FH Campus Wien in 2008 north of the Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung Nord, the area was further enhanced.

Transport links

The settlement can be reached on Favoritenstrasse, a main road in north-south direction.

With the extension of the U1 subway line, which took place on September 2, 2017, the settlement with the Alaudagasse and Neulaa subway stations is now directly connected to the subway, the travel time to Stephansplatz is now from Neulaa 13 minutes. The tram line 67 on the branch between Reumannplatz and Oberlaa was discontinued in the course of the above-mentioned underground expansion.

In a west-east direction, bus line 17A crosses component west, line 19A crosses component east.

About 800 m north of the settlement is the Favoriten distribution circle on Austria's busiest motorway, the Südosttangente urban motorway . This motorway runs at some distance to the west behind the north and west parts of the settlement. The Donauländebahn runs south of the West and East components (goods traffic to the central shunting yard Wien-Kledering and the Donauuferbahn ).
